Be careful driving through here during the winter months. Assholes from the Bay Area drive like psychopaths. The speeds are posted for a REASON. Doing 20 over is dangerous ANYWHERE.

if you come by small group go with tahoe queen, but if you come with a group of friends rent a yacht boat drive out to the island and swim there its beautiful! more privacy less crowded !

once you hike down the trail , there are paths that take you around the lake so it's never too crowded and you have your own space.

Used to come here a lot when we were kids - spent every Thanksgiving here for years! Loved it then and love it now.
